to be blunt, this doesn't sound right to me, unless it's doing something 
rather more clever to manage the memory.

i mocked up a simple class containing a byte[], ByteBuffer and long, and 
the shallow size alone is 32 bytes.  deep size with a byte[16], 1-byte 
bytebuffer and long is 132.  this is a on a 64-bit jvm on win x64, but 
is consistent(ish) with what i've seen in the past on linux jvms.  the 
actual code has rather more objects than this (it's a map, it has a 
pair, decoratedKey) so would be quite a bit bigger per key.
